ACCOUNTABILITY

Given that full and fair public accounting is an imperative if society is to work properly, this fact raises the question whether the governing bodies of authorities know their commonsense obligation to publicly account but simply evade it. It may also be that they honestly do not understand how it applies to them in their jobs. Yet in well-run business organizations, accountability is well understood and applied because the obligation to explain intended and actual achievement can be expected to increase the performance of those having the responsibilities.
